Rose woke up the next morning and placed her hand on the back of her neck where John would kiss her every day. She wasn't sure why she did that nor did she care at the moment, the only thing she knew was she felt like a train had hit her.

Rose slowly walked to the bathroom; she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. mascara streaks formed as reminders of her tears, her eyes felt tired.

She felt visibly and emotionally exhausted but she still had a job to do.

"I'm not going to let him bring me down. I'll show him." Rose thought to herself. Taking a deep breath she prepared for work.

John walked into work not really feeling 100 percent but he was coping. Jake spotted him and hurried towards him. "Hey John, can we talk for a second?"

John nodded. Pulling him aside John said. "What's up?" Jake sighed. "I'm sorry; man I should have told you about the phone number. I completely understand your feelings and if you want to pound my face in I wouldn't blame you."

John smirked. "It's okay. I was just mad." Jake perked up. "So I'm forgiven?"

"Yeah." John replied. "But do that again and I will pound you." He slightly joked.

"Works for me!" Jake answered happily. The two fist bumped and headed to their departments.

"If only it were that easy to make up with Rose." John thought sadly.

Rose really wasn't up for explaining why she and John weren't together so for the next few days she pretty much avoided anyone she knew.

She never spoke to John much except when they had to which wasn't often but eventually that awkward moment was bound to happen.

Rose was walking down the hall when she accidentally bumped into John. "Sorry." He said.

Rose gave a weak smile; noticing he looked really handsome. "It's okay; I wasn't watching where I was going."

"So how are you?" He asked.

"I'm fine just fine." She replied even though Rose was lying thru her teeth.

John nodded. "I'm glad. Well, bye." He said. "Bye." Rose replied.

John watched her walk away. "I guess she's over me." He thought feeling dejected.

Later that day Rose was leaving work when she remembered she had forgotten some worksheets in Pete's office, she sighed and went back inside.

She hadn't gotten far when Rose spotted John standing rather close and talking to Amy, a fiery red-head all the guys were after.

Rose felt her heart-break and she literally ran for the exit.

Standing outside she felt mixed emotions. Rose was upset but guilt ridden at the same time.

What really got to her the most was John wasn't talking to Amy to make her jealous; he was talking to her because Amy liked him for who he was just like she should have. Rose realized.

Feeling deflated she forgot about the worksheets and just went home.
